IBS is Total B.S.
Constant Bloating is NOT Normal.
You shouldn't have to stress and worry about where the closet bathroom is when you're out trying to enjoy a meal.  And no, you shouldn't have to only live on a handful of boring "safe" foods
 When it comes to gut health, I get pretty sassy and opinionated because by the age of 23, I was already getting regular colonoscopies and popping 4 different meds for my IBS and heartburn. Navigating my own gut health issues is exactly what motivated my journey from the traditional medicine approach to a more functional root cause approach for myself and for others. I will never forget the frustration of popping Tums like candy and the embarrassment of the LOUD gurgling, bubbling, and belching that I had zero control over and would always happen at the quietest of times…so fun to try and hide or explain. I wish my doctor would have tested for infection or parasites, considered my anxiety and declining mood were connected to my gut health, asked me about my diet and lifestyle(hello rum and cokes and ramen noodles, I was a stressed out poor college student!)or even explained WHY my gut was so inflamed instead of pumping me full of steroids, acid reducers, and anxiety meds. Can you relate? SO frustrating!
